had my 3rd c section 3 weeks ago. when can i start dieting and exercising?
If you are breastfeeding, you should not diet in order to provide yourself and the baby with enough nutrition. If you are not BF then you can diet right away, BUT you still need to eat as healthy as possible because you are essentially recoevering from surgery. Your body needs proper nutrition with LOTS of protein to help rebuild/repair muscle.
You should wait for you DR to OK exercise, but you also know your own body. If you feel up to it you can (and should) begin walking. As a nurse, they train us to get people walking very soon after surgery. It prevents blood clots and gets your systems (esp: intestinal) going. Work up from there, but don’t go crazy. Even when the outside is healed, it takes even longer for the muscle to completely heal.
I heard that when you diet your metabolism goes down because your body is slightly starving. How do you make it go back up after dieting? And how do you not exercise as often or as hardcore and eat normal and not gain weight without being on a permanent diet?
Unless you drastically restrict calories for a very long period of time, no permanent damage is done to your metabolism. I challenge anyone to dig up a study to prove otherwise.
That said, get a post-diet sluggish metabolism back on track while increasing calories, you should slowly add calories into your diet over the course of a few weeks, while INCREASING your exercise levels. Keep an eye on the scale and on your measurements.
The idea is to keep increasing calories while staying at the same weight. You will be increasing the rate of tissue turnover (read:metabolism) through all the exercise, while getting your body accustomed to a much higher food intake. After you have maxed out your exercise (6-8 hours a week), cut back on the exercise and your food intake just a bit, and then just monitor your progress to make sure you are not gaining or losing weight.
This is also a good strategy to use for a couple of weeks BEFORE going on a fat loss diet to get your metabolism really revved up before you reduce calories.
I have some flab covering my abs, which causes my abs to show only when i flex, and i can’t flex forever. How can I lose the flab without dieting? I don’t stick to diets, at all. If the only other option you can propose is a diet, than thats fine.
you dont really need to diet, just eat a little less.
also try cardio to burn fat. run fast for say 4x200m to get rid of the glycogen from the muscles, and get all the other bonuses HIIT training gives, after that do slow cardio for 30 minutes, or upto 50 mintues for fat loss. you can also swim, that works as well. .
also muscles will burn more fat than cardio in the long run,(long run being the other 23 hours of the day) so build some muscles.
if you dont have any equipment, do push-ups, crunches, oblique twists, reverse curls, squats.
if you have access to dumbells, do bicep curls at least, you can use them for jsut about everything.,
if you have access to a gym ask someone who knows what their doing, or a trainer, they’ll prolly show you how to do it, and help you ge tthe right form as well.
I’m currently on a diet and working out 3-4 days a week in hopes to lose about 15-20lbs. I was wondering if anyone new of any certain vitamins that could help me reach my goals or just help in general while dieting. Thanks!
A good multi is important to take everyday for everyone.
Try to find one that does not have alot of extra ingredients (non-vitamin/mineral) and has an even look/texture throughout.
I love the Nutralite vitamins. They have been around for 50 years and are one of the best.
good luck!
I never really work out and i also never tried dieting.
I would like to know what is the best way to start a good exercise routine and a dieting regimen?
I will admit i am not a healthy eater at all and I want to know what is good way to start eating healthier?
Hi Jessica,
Have you ever wondered how a celebrity can keep such a nice and tight body? Do you think they are just born that way and they are just a special person to look that good? Part of it is airbrushing in pictures and different camera angles on television, but a lot of it has to do with the way they diet. There is such a thing as the master cleanser diet and it is one of hollywoods secrets. Here is what you can expect from the master cleanser diet.
1. You will gain more energy than you ever though possible
You are going to get a huge burst of energy and more daily energy if you do a cleaning diet. This is due to all the toxins you will be flushing out of your body and all the garbage that will no longer be clogging up your colon. When you cleanse your colon you will allow your body to work properly and this will give you more energy because you will be wasting less energy on cleaning the garbage and storing it in your colon.
2. You will find more time in your days.
Sure this sounds strange, but when you have more energy you will require less sleep and you will be more productive. This means that things that used to take you an hour might only take you 45 minutes and those 8-10 hour nights of sleep will turn into 5-6 hour nights of sleep. This can greatly benefit anybody that could use an extra hour or two each day.
I know a girl who has been dieting since she was 13 and still is (she’s probably around 15 now). What are the chances of her getting an eating disorder? I’ve heard that like 86% of girls who diet at that age end up with one, is that true? What statistics do you have/know? I really would like to warn her parents, especially since they see nothing wrong with her behavior. I’m not sure if she’s throwing up in a bathroom or anything like that, but she definately is watching what she is eating, eating foods marked "low carb", keeping track of how many pounds she has lost, and exercises for the benefit of weight loss. Also looks like she could use a vitamin if you know what I mean..
Thanks to all who help.
i’ve been dieting for a year and a half (since 13 1/2) and i dont have a disorder, maybe shes just trying to be healthy. talk to her before her parents. there could be something going on at home, eating is a bout self control, maybe if shes lost something she thinks regaining the ability to choose what she eats can bring things back into focus and get stability.
hope i helped
yea so i need help.

I was just curious what everyone else struggles with when trying to diet. Mine is just hunger, I have a hearty appetite and loathe the feeling of being hungry so its hard to say no to tasty, greasy foods that are available when I’m dieting. Whats your obstacle? And have you overcome it or are you still battling?
For me, it’s resisting foods that simply taste colourful in my mouth lol. i.e. chips…. (are a big guilty pleasure for me)
I think I only overcome that when I really choose to though… I usually give in when I feel like I haven’t eaten them for a long while, and that’s when I truly INDULGE (in every sense of the word).
But overall, I think I’ve overcome it. A tip is to just stay away from the foods altogether, and have the willpower to resist walking over and buying/taking the specific food out of the cupboard.
I am currently dieting and it’s working, plus I am in the gym again. I am not fat just gettitng a little loose, I used to play soccer and do step aeorbics in high school, yet I am not happy about my current look. I know dieting foods, I just want to hear more strategies from various people.
Inform me.
LQ!!!
The first answer is just from someone most people don’t want to hear from or like. Get a grid smarty!
Maybe it would help you if you didn’t look at things as "diet foods". When you want to eat something (which you should do often, like every 2-3 hours), think to yourself – what benefit am I getting from this? So instead of thinking of things you CAN’T eat b/c you’re trying to firm up, try thinking of what you CAN eat to help you. What you do eat is much more important that what you don’t eat. And the little things do add up. For example – try a small handful of nuts, but remember to get them without salt. No need for that extra sodium. And drink TONS of water. I know it sounds very cliche, but once you get into a habit of really staying hydrated, you realize how much better you feel. Oh, and fresh, raw veggies are great. Just remember, the more natural a food is, and the less processed, the better it is for you. Good luck friend!
How do you think dieting is becoming more mcdonaldized or socialized. Suddenly it seems all women are dieting in some way, and corporate america has caught onto this creating diet programs, diet pills, and all that jazz for women. Do you know of any other ways dieting has becoming mcdonaldized?
Corporate America is feeding into our desire to eat healthier but I’m not so sure that we really are eating healthier because if you analyze the content of some of those "diet" meals then they’re not all that healthy.
But it gives people the illusion that they’re eating more healthy so people don’t really look into whether an item is all that healthy. For example, products may say "No Sugar Added" but the darn things already were loaded with sugar to begin with. However, stupid consumers buy it anyway and tell themselves that they’re "eating healthy."
Some items have reduced the sugar but, in order to keep it tasty, increased the fat! How is THAT healthy? See what I mean?
By the way, nice avatar!
